Goals

Having goals in the gym will keep you motivated and increase your confidence

The most popular response people give us when asked about their goals or what brought them to the gym is, “Looking better” or the need to lose weight.

Goals IN the gym will give you much more success toward these overall goals

Fact: Most people lose motivation in their training less than 4 weeks after starting

Why?

Goals need to set both for the short and long term. A general goal of “looking better” or losing weight is far too general. We love seeing those goals switch to the performance goals in training. Here are some great goals ideas:

Setting PRs (personal records)

Increasing your strength on barbell, dumbbell, and bodyweight movements with reps of anywhere from 1-20

Decreasing the amount it takes you to perform the same amount of work (ex. 500m row)

Adding more work in the same amount of time

Losing or gaining a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time (short term)

Specific goals like “5lbs in 4 weeks” will help increase motivation and also allow for proper adjustments to ensure success

Try setting goals like the ones above and notice much more physical and mental changes!
